I enjoyed my role so much as the baby of the family that it stunted my growth into adulthood. There are over 10 years between me and my oldest sister and they all got behind me as the baby. My second eldest sister still calls me Baby and I’m like, ‘you have two children, you can’t still call me Baby’.
